Description
本發明涉及一種閘極驅動模組及一種閘極內嵌面板,尤其涉及可藉由共享下拉薄膜電晶體(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)降低TFT的數量,以藉此降低邊框厚度的一種閘極驅動模組及一種閘極內嵌面板。 The present invention relates to a gate drive module and a gate embedded panel, in particular to a gate drive that can reduce the number of TFTs by sharing a thin film transistor (TFT), thereby reducing the thickness of the frame A module and a gate embedded panel.
在今日之資訊技術時代,與平面顯示裝置相關之技術(例如,以可視影像之形式包含於電子信號中之資訊)正在快速地發展。尤其,用於發展出具有更低功耗之更薄與更輕量的平面顯示裝置的研究在持續中。 In today's information technology era, technologies related to flat display devices (for example, information contained in electronic signals in the form of visual images) are rapidly developing. In particular, research for developing thinner and lighter flat display devices with lower power consumption is continuing.
平面顯示裝置包括液晶顯示裝置(LCD)、電漿顯示平板裝置(PDP)、場發射顯示裝置(FED)、電致發光顯示裝置(ELD)、電濕顯示裝置(EWD)及有機發光顯示裝置(OLED)。 Flat display devices include liquid crystal display devices (LCD), plasma display panel devices (PDP), field emission display devices (FED), electroluminescent display devices (ELD), electrowetting display devices (EWD), and organic light-emitting display devices ( OLED).
在這些裝置中,有機發光顯示裝置藉由使用自發光之有機發光二極體而產生影像。這樣的有機發光顯示裝置包括兩個或更多之以不同顏色發光之有機發光二極體,以可在不使用如其他裝置(例如,液晶顯示裝置)之額外的色彩濾光層而顯示有色影像。此外,既然有機發光顯示裝置不需要另外的光源,相對於液晶顯示裝置,有機發光顯示裝置可更輕量、更薄及具有更寬的視角。此外,有機發光顯示裝置的反應速度比液晶顯示裝置的反應速度快了至少一千倍,以使其幾乎不遺留殘像。 Among these devices, organic light-emitting display devices generate images by using self-luminous organic light-emitting diodes. Such an organic light-emitting display device includes two or more organic light-emitting diodes that emit light in different colors, so that a colored image can be displayed without using an additional color filter layer like other devices (eg, liquid crystal display devices) . In addition, since the organic light emitting display device does not require an additional light source, the organic light emitting display device can be lighter, thinner, and have a wider viewing angle compared to the liquid crystal display device. In addition, the reaction speed of the organic light-emitting display device is at least a thousand times faster than that of the liquid crystal display device, so that it hardly leaves an afterimage.
這樣的有機發光顯示裝置藉由施加電壓至閘極線來開啟掃描電晶體以顯示影像。當掃描電晶體被開啟時,該電壓藉由資料線而施加,以開啟驅動電晶體。當驅動電晶體被開啟時,電流流過驅動電晶體,以開啟有機發光二極體。為了執行這些功能,需要用於施加電壓至閘極線的閘 極驅動模組。 Such an organic light-emitting display device turns on the scanning transistor to display an image by applying a voltage to the gate line. When the scanning transistor is turned on, the voltage is applied through the data line to turn on the driving transistor. When the driving transistor is turned on, current flows through the driving transistor to turn on the organic light emitting diode. In order to perform these functions, a gate for applying voltage to the gate line is required Pole drive module.
傳統的閘極驅動模組具有包括用於驅動閘極線之大數量TFT的缺陷,因此,閘極驅動模組的邊框是較厚的。此外,既然,傳統的閘極驅動模組具有較厚邊框,對於使用者來說,要融入螢幕上所顯示的內容是困難的,以及面板的整體體積是增加的。此外,目前的閘極驅動模組具有用於驅動閘極線之大數量的Qb節點及逆變器的問題。 The conventional gate drive module has a defect that includes a large number of TFTs for driving the gate lines. Therefore, the frame of the gate drive module is thick. In addition, since the traditional gate driver module has a thicker frame, it is difficult for the user to integrate the content displayed on the screen, and the overall volume of the panel is increased. In addition, the current gate drive module has the problem of driving a large number of Q b nodes and inverters for the gate line.

依據發明的一態樣,提供一種閘極驅動模組,其可藉由共享一下拉薄膜電晶體降低薄膜電晶體的數量,以及藉此降低邊框厚度。 According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a gate driving module which can reduce the number of thin film transistors by sharing the pull-down thin film transistors, and thereby reduce the thickness of the frame.
更特別地,當一第一上拉薄膜電晶體及一第二上拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,一第一下拉薄膜電晶體被關閉。當該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體被關閉時,該第一下拉薄膜電晶體被開啟。當該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,一閘極驅動信號藉由該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體施加至該閘極線。接著,當該第一下拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,一低位準電壓信號藉由該第一下拉薄膜電晶體施加至該閘極線。如上所述,僅藉由使用該第一上拉薄膜電晶體、該第二上拉薄膜電晶體及該第一下拉薄膜電晶體,施加該閘極驅動信號及該低位準電壓信號,以藉此降低薄膜電晶體的數量以及降低邊框厚度。 More specifically, when a first pull-up thin film transistor and a second pull-up thin film transistor are turned on, a first pull-down thin film transistor is turned off. When the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor are turned off, the first pull-down thin film transistor is turned on. When the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor are turned on, a gate drive signal is applied to the gate through the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor Polar line. Then, when the first pull-down thin film transistor is turned on, a low level voltage signal is applied to the gate line through the first pull-down thin film transistor. As described above, only by using the first pull-up thin film transistor, the second pull-up thin film transistor, and the first pull-down thin film transistor, the gate drive signal and the low level voltage signal are applied to This reduces the number of thin film transistors and reduces the thickness of the frame.
該閘極驅動模組可進一步包括:一第一反向器,其一端子連接至該第一上拉薄膜電晶體的閘極端以及另一端子連接至該第一下拉薄膜電晶體的閘極端。 The gate driving module may further include: a first inverter whose one terminal is connected to the gate terminal of the first pull-up thin film transistor and the other terminal is connected to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor .
藉由一第三反向器連接至一第三上拉薄膜電晶體的閘極端的一Qb3節點可連接至一Qb2節點。該Qb2節點可藉由一第二反向器連接至該第二上拉薄膜電晶體的閘極端。如上所述,該Qb3節點連接至該Qb2節點,以使該Qb節點的數量可以降低以及反向器數量可以降低。 A Q b 3 node connected to the gate terminal of a third pull-up thin film transistor through a third inverter can be connected to a Q b 2 node. The Q b 2 node can be connected to the gate terminal of the second pull-up thin film transistor by a second inverter. As described above, the Q b 3 node is connected to the Q b 2 node, so that the number of Q b nodes can be reduced and the number of inverters can be reduced.
據此,該閘極驅動模組可共享該下拉薄膜電晶體及該Qb節點,以藉此降低薄膜電晶體數量、Qb節點數量及反向器數量。 Accordingly, the gate driving module can share the pull-down thin film transistor and the Q b node, thereby reducing the number of thin film transistors, the number of Q b nodes, and the number of inverters.

更特別地,當第一上拉薄膜電晶體及第二上拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,第一下拉薄膜電晶體被關閉。當該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體被關閉時,該第一下拉薄膜電晶體被開啟。當該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,一閘極驅動信號藉由該第一上拉薄膜電晶體及該第二上拉薄膜電晶體施加至該閘極線。接著,當該第一下拉薄膜電晶體被開啟時,一低位準電壓信號藉由該第一下拉薄膜電 晶體施加至該閘極線。如上所述,僅藉由使用該第一上拉薄膜電晶體、該第二上拉薄膜電晶體及該第一下拉薄膜電晶體,施加該閘極驅動信號及該低位準電壓信號,以藉此降低薄膜電晶體的數量以及降低邊框厚度。 More specifically, when the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor are turned on, the first pull-down thin film transistor is turned off. When the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor are turned off, the first pull-down thin film transistor is turned on. When the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor are turned on, a gate drive signal is applied to the gate through the first pull-up thin film transistor and the second pull-up thin film transistor Polar line.

First A pull-down thin film transistor 120 may be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, a bipolar transistor or an insulated gate bipolar transistor, but the type of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is not limited thereto.
第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的一端子可連接至閘極驅動信號產生器160,以及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的另一端子可連接至第一閘極線150的另一末端。第二上拉薄膜電晶體130可為金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體、雙極性電晶體或絕緣閘雙極電晶體,但第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的類型並不限於此。第一上拉薄膜電晶體110、第一下拉薄膜電晶體120及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130可為相同或不同的類型。設置第一上拉薄膜電晶體110、第一下拉薄膜電晶體120及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的位置可與第1圖所示的位置相同或不同。 One terminal of the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 may be connected to the gate driving signal generator 160, and the other terminal of the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 may be connected to the other end of the first gate line 150. The second pull-up thin film transistor 130 may be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, a bipolar transistor or an insulating gate bipolar transistor, but the type of the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 is not limited thereto. The first pull-up thin film transistor 110, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120, and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 may be of the same or different types. The positions of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120, and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 may be the same as or different from those shown in FIG.
例如,當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟時,第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被關閉。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉時,第一下拉薄膜電晶體120可被開啟。參考第2圖(b),信號210可施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110的閘極端。當信號210施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110的閘極端時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110可在區間230時被開啟。 For example, when the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned on, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is turned off. When the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned off, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 may be turned on.

When the signal 210 is applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110, the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 may be turned on at the interval 230.
另一方面,參考第2圖(c),信號220可施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端。該信號220可為信號210的反向信號。當信號220施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端時,第一下拉薄膜電晶體120可在區間230時被關閉。第2圖(b)至第2圖(c)所示之反相位(anti-phase)的信號可施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端,以使該等薄膜電晶體以一重複序列同時且分別地被開啟及關閉,反之亦然。 On the other hand, referring to FIG. 2 (c), the signal 220 may be applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120. The signal 220 may be the reverse signal of the signal 210. When the signal 220 is applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 may be turned off during the interval 230. The anti-phase signals shown in FIGS. 2 (b) to 2 (c) can be applied to the gate terminals of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the first pull-down thin film transistor 120, So that the thin film transistors are turned on and off simultaneously and separately in a repeating sequence, and vice versa.
例如,閘極驅動模組可進一步包括第一反向器140,其具有連接至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110的閘極端的一端子以及連接至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端的另一端子。第一反向器140可將提供至Q1節點的信號相位反向,以將其輸出至Qb1節點。例如,第一反向器140可將第2圖(b)所示的信號210改變為第2圖(c)所示的信號220,以將其輸出且施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120。當第一反向器140將第2圖(b)所示的信號210改變為第2圖(c)所示的信號220以將其輸出時,第一上拉薄膜 電晶體110及第一下拉薄膜電晶體120可依據第2圖(b)至第2圖(c)所示的反相位信號210、220以一重複序列同時且分別地被開啟及關閉。 For example, the gate driving module may further include a first inverter 140 having a terminal connected to the gate terminal of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and a gate terminal connected to the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 Another terminal. The first inverter 140 may reverse the phase of the signal provided to the Q1 node to output it to the Q b 1 node. For example, the first inverter 140 may change the signal 210 shown in FIG. 2 (b) to the signal 220 shown in FIG. 2 (c) to output and apply it to the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 . When the first inverter 140 changes the signal 210 shown in FIG. 2 (b) to the signal 220 shown in FIG. 2 (c) to output it, the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the first lower The thin film transistor 120 can be turned on and off simultaneously and separately in a repeating sequence according to the reverse phase signals 210 and 220 shown in FIGS. 2 (b) to 2 (c).
依據本發明的範例實施例,施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110之閘極端的信號210可施加至Q1節點,以及施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120之閘極端的信號220可施加至Qb1節點。施加至Q1節點的信號210可由反向器反向,以施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端。該等信號可以與上述方式不同的方式施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110的閘極端以及第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端。 According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the signal 210 applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 can be applied to the Q1 node, and the signal 220 applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 can be applied to Q b 1 node. The signal 210 applied to the Q1 node may be inverted by an inverter to apply to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120. These signals may be applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 in a different manner from the above.
然而,第二上拉薄膜電晶體130及第一上拉薄膜電晶體110可被同時地開啟。特別地,第2圖(b)所示的信號210也可施加至第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的閘極端。當信號210施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130的閘極端且信號220施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟且第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被關閉,反之亦然。藉由同時開啟第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130,可在當像素開啟時,防止時間點之間的延遲。 However, the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 and the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 may be simultaneously turned on. In particular, the signal 210 shown in FIG. 2 (b) may also be applied to the gate terminal of the second pull-up thin film transistor 130. When the signal 210 is applied to the gate terminals of the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 and the signal 220 is applied to the gate terminals of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120, the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned on and the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is turned off, and vice versa. By turning on the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 at the same time, a delay between time points can be prevented when the pixel is turned on.
例如,當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟且第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被關閉時,由閘極驅動信號產生器160所產生的閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4可藉由第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被施加至第一閘極線150。此外,當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉且第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被開啟時,低位準電壓信號可藉由第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被施加至第一閘極線150。該低位準電壓信號可為直流電壓信號。 For example, when the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned on and the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is turned off, the gate driving signal generated by the gate driving signal generator 160 CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4 can be applied to the first gate line 150 through the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130. In addition, when the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned off and the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is turned on, the low level voltage signal can pass through the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 It is applied to the first gate line 150. The low-level voltage signal may be a DC voltage signal.
更特別地,當信號210施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130在區間230時被開啟。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟時,部份的閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4可藉由第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被施加至第一閘極線150。參考第2圖(a)至第2圖(d),閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4中之的號CLK1可施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上 拉薄膜電晶體130的至少其中之一。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟時,第一下拉薄膜電晶體120可被關閉。在此之後,信號220可施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端以將其開啟,在此同時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉。當第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被開啟時,低位準電壓信號可施加至第一閘極線150。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉時,閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4無法繼續被施加至第一閘極線150。因此,第2圖(d)所示的信號330可施加至第一閘極線150,以及信號330可開啟第3圖所示的掃描電晶體Scan_Tr。 More specifically, when the signal 210 is applied to the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130, the first pull-up thin-film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin-film transistor 130 are blocked at the interval 230 Open. When the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned on, part of the gate driving signals CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4 can The pull-up thin film transistor 130 is applied to the first gate line 150. Referring to FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (d), the gate drive signals CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and CLK4 can be applied to the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second At least one of the thin film transistors 130 is pulled. When the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned on, the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 may be turned off. After this, the signal 220 may be applied to the gate terminal of the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 to turn it on, and at the same time, the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned off. When the first pull-down thin film transistor 120 is turned on, a low-level voltage signal may be applied to the first gate line 150. When the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned off, the gate driving signals CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and CLK4 cannot continue to be applied to the first gate line 150. Therefore, the signal 330 shown in FIG. 2 (d) may be applied to the first gate line 150, and the signal 330 may turn on the scan transistor Scan_Tr shown in FIG. 3.
參考第3圖,當信號330施加至第一閘極線150時,掃描電晶體Scan_Tr被開啟。當掃描電晶體Scan_Tr開啟時,資料電壓信號Vdata施加至資料線13。施加資料電壓信號至資料線13的元件可為資料驅動器。施加至資料線13的資料電壓信號Vdata藉由掃描電晶體Scan_Tr施加至電容Cst或驅動電晶體Dr_Tr的閘極端。當資料電壓信號施加至驅動電晶體Dr_Tr的閘極端時,驅動電晶體Dr_Tr被開啟。當驅動電晶體Dr_Tr開啟時,電流流經驅動電晶體Dr_Tr。流經驅動電晶體Dr_Tr之電流可將有機發光二極體開啟。 Referring to FIG. 3, when the signal 330 is applied to the first gate line 150, the scan transistor Scan_Tr is turned on. When the scan transistor Scan_Tr is turned on, the data voltage signal Vdata is applied to the data line 13. The device that applies the data voltage signal to the data line 13 may be a data driver. The data voltage signal Vdata applied to the data line 13 is applied to the gate terminal of the capacitor Cst or the driving transistor Dr_Tr by the scan transistor Scan_Tr. When the data voltage signal is applied to the gate terminal of the driving transistor Dr_Tr, the driving transistor Dr_Tr is turned on. When the driving transistor Dr_Tr is turned on, current flows through the driving transistor Dr_Tr. The current flowing through the driving transistor Dr_Tr can turn on the organic light emitting diode.
以上述的方式,依據本發明範例實施例的閘極驅動模組可控制掃描電晶體Scan_Tr的開啟及關閉操作。此外,藉由控制掃描電晶體Scan_Tr的開啟及關閉操作,有機發光二極體的開啟及關閉時序可被控制。 In the above manner, the gate driving module according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can control the on and off operations of the scan transistor Scan_Tr.

更特別地,當信號210施加至第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130在區間230時被開啟。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被開啟時,閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4可藉由第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被施加至第一閘極線150。接著,信號220被施加至第一下拉薄膜電晶體120的閘極端以將其開 啟,在此同時,第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉。當第一下拉薄膜電晶體120被開啟時,低位準電壓信號被施加至第一閘極線150。當第一上拉薄膜電晶體110及第二上拉薄膜電晶體130被關閉時,閘極驅動信號CLK1、CLK2、CLK3、CLK4無法繼續被施加至第一閘極線150。因此,第2圖(d)所示的信號330被施加至第一閘極線150,以及信號330開啟第3圖所示的掃描電晶體Scan_Tr。 More specifically, when the signal 210 is applied to the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130, the first pull-up thin-film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin-film transistor 130 are blocked at the interval 230 Open.

When the first pull-up thin film transistor 110 and the second pull-up thin film transistor 130 are turned off, the gate driving signals CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and CLK4 cannot continue to be applied to the first gate line 150.
